What to expect here on Intentional Moms in 2018 (+ some highlights from 2017!)

Well friends, we’re closing out 2017, and I thought today might be a good day to reflect a little on the past year, and then let you know what to expect here on Intentional Moms in the year ahead.

Like I talked about last week, this has been a really fun year on the blog. I spent a lot of time creating resources to help you simplify your life and make time for the things that matter, and you have seemed to love them!

Top 3 Products of 2017:

The Intentional Moms Toolkit– This is the project I was the MOST excited about this year, because it actually gives moms more FREEDOM & TIME!! And it seems like you guys have been as excited as I’ve been! Over 600 of you have joined us, and we’re having such a blast in our community group. We’d love for you to join us while you still can – doors close on January 2nd!

The Organized Life Planner – The planner got even better this year, offering new sizes and an updated design. Many of you are taking advantage of our sale this week and using the code INTENTIONALYEAR to get 20% off! My inbox is full of new planner users, and I’m so thrilled you’re taking the time right now to get organized for the year! You won’t regret it.

The Simple Start Journal – This morning journal has been such a help to me, and it’s been one of our best-sellers this year! A quick way to get into the word, plan your day, and complete a short workout every single morning – it’s become one of our favorite resources this year!

We’ve grown our Facebook communities to include women from all over the globe, but it still feels like a small family in there. We pray for each other, share tips and encouragement, and our community group is just my favorite place on the internet. Thank you for being a part of it!

And I’ve loved seeing which posts have been the most meaningful to you this year. These 10 posts were the most visited, the most shared, and the most commented on in 2017!

The best online Bible studies for women – This post gets the most traffic from Google; I think there are a lot of people searching for online Bible studies! Here are our favorites – ones you can count on to be solid Scripture + theology.

Let’s talk about 2018…

2017 was a great year for the blog, but it took up a majority of my time and focus this year. I have gotten much better about separating work and family time, so I do feel like I’ve grown in this area over the last 12 months, but I also recognize that I need more sleep than I allowed myself this year.

2018 is to be my year of Gentleness, and that applies to all areas of life. Because of that, I’m taking a gentle approach to the blog this year.

WRITING: I’ll be writing here on the blog just a couple of times a month – usually one post will focus on faith and motherhood, and one post will focus on organization & systems that will help you in your home. My focus for the year is on slowing down, making the most of what I already have, and loving my family well. That’s what I’ll be sharing with you, too. Make sure you’re subscribed below so you don’t miss a post!

EMAILS: Our weekly newsletters come out every Monday, giving you a little encouragement and focus for your week ahead. The newsletter will be the place I share more of our family happenings and honest confessions, so if you want to good stuff, make sure you’re subscribed below!

NEW PRODUCTS: We already have some incredible products for you in our shop, & instead of spending my time this year creating new ones, I want to help you learn how to use the ones we already have. I’ll be creating some new challenges, new email series, and more posts that help you put the products you’ve purchased to their best use in your home.

I feel like this strategy will help me keep the important things important for you, while also allowing me the ability to focus on my family first and give my best to them. If I can’t do that, I have no business writing to you at all!

Thank You.

I’m so grateful for you and your presence here. I pray that the resources I’ve created and the words I’ve shared have encouraged & blessed you this year – and maybe even freed you up a little bit more to focus on the things that matter MOST.

Thanks for trekking with me through 2017 – I can’t wait to spend 2018 with you, too! Make sure you’re subscribed (if you already get our emails – you are!), so you don’t miss anything that’s coming up in 2018!

STOP! Don’t miss your LAST CHANCE to enroll in the Intentional Moms Toolkit!

Hey friends! In case you didn’t know, we’re closing enrollment for the Intentional Moms Toolkit this week, and I don’t know when we’ll be opening it up again. Not for a few months, at least. Doors close on January 2nd, so we can spend time pouring into our members and making sure everyone has exactly what they need. We’d love for you to join us before then!

The Toolkit is our premier monthly membership for moms who want to free up their time so they can truly focus on their families. Every month you get a full meal plan, a home care checklist, a family connection guide, self-care strategies, budgeting tips, and more. Plus an incredible new community of women who are all doing the same thing & committed to encouraging you along the way.

It’s all the plans you need, so you can quit spending your time chasing after your to-do list, and finally get to the things that really matter. But it’s not available for much longer!

Hi friend! I'm Kayse. I'm a wife, a mom, and a zillion other things, just like you. I've spent a little time in that place where the weariness seeps deep into your soul. I also know what it takes to get OUT of that place.

I'm convinced we weren't meant to live in a constant state of overwhelm. There's another way - and it doesn't include a longer to-do list.
